There are many stone symbols and images in Herman Melville's Pierre. They are analyzed in Richard Fleck's paper but the objects treated in the analysis are very restricted. There are many more stone symbols such as a pebble, a stone wall, a quarry, the Pyramid and a sarcophagus than those studied by Fleck. This paper is to study Melville's Pierre: the Ambiguities by reanalyzing such rich stone symbols and images.
It is said Melville's ultimate question is "Why does God permit evil?" Pierre also has to do with the quest for that "rationale of evil." By catching "frightening glimpses into a mind" Melville is on a quest to expose evil in the mind of Pierre.
Pierre is extremely docile with his mother, which means he is dependent on her. When he encounters with the living result of his father's sin, he could not accept his father. He tries to heal his father's sin by sacrificing himself with a mock marriage to his step-sister Isabel. At last Pierre is surprised to realize there is a lust for Isabel behind his Christ-like self sacrifice.
'Pierre' means "stone" in French. He is also compared to a mason. He is a mason who digs into the heart of the stone, himself. He only finds there is layer on layer of stone. He realizes that virtue and vice are two shadows cast from one "nothingness" in the mist of ambiguities. Evil in humans is the inevitable condition of being man. Like a Memnon boy, he dies in the hopeless fight with his overmatch, the nature of humanity itself.
